email welcome letter customization?
« on: November 03, 2007, 04:49:53 pm »
It's clear where to customize the format all the email signup messages that appear on the screen, but where, oh where is the text and format setup for the actual welcome email that comes after someone sucessfully signs up? All I see is followup email setting.
Thanks
Lisa

Login to the admin screen, then list settings.
You'll see the lines:
Send confirmation email (double opt-in) on signup to verify deliverability
Send confirmation reminder email every  days to a maximum of  messages
Send welcome email on signup or when confirmed

Check and edit the messages there.

CSS question

Thanks so much, David. Right in front of me eyes...

Now, is there a CSS file I can edit to keep formatting of screen messages consistent, or do I need to put that in each message?

Thanks--
Lisa

Thanks for your response, David.  I've been behind on the forum, working on a number of server setups and some problems.

Hi Lisa,

If sending HTML email your CSS should be inline.  I recommend after the <body> tag due to a problem seem on HotMail.

Like this:
Code: [Select]
<html>
<body>
<style type="text/css">
   h1 { margin:0; font: bold 10pt arial; text-decoration:underline; }
</style>
Your page here
</body>
</html>

A text copy is also required.  To avoid having to create two copies of the same message you might consider using a message code of the type "Link to HTML" as your text message.
